assistant is defined as a graduate student who has been accepted into a graduate program and who is receiving compensation in return for the performance of assigned duties. A graduate assistant is expected to earn a minimum of six hours of coursework every Fall and Spring semester in their graduate degree program (three hours during a Summer semester) with a maximum of 12 hours from their degree program during a semester (six in the summer semester). The only acceptable courses outside of the student\u2019s graduate degree program are courses described as \u201cfoundation\u201d courses or program prerequisite courses AND will only be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies with a letter of explanation from the graduate assistant\u2019s Program Coordinator or major professor. If a graduate assistant enrolls in any other courses, he\/she will be responsible for the associated tuition and fees. In the final semester of the degree program, a graduate assistant must register for at least one hour. For graduate assistants, six semester hours during a semester (Fall or Spring) and three semester hours during a summer semester will constitute a full-time load. Students enrolled in graduate programs may hold an assistantship for a maximum of six semesters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Students with full time employment are ineligible for graduate assistantships, except in cases of individuals on leave from full time employment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Non-master\u2019s Alternative Certification students with NMCP classification may hold an assistantship for a maximum of three semesters. NMCP students holding assistantships must meet the same minimum course progress toward completion of certification as other graduate assistants pursuing a specific master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ assures equal opportunity for all qualified persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and similar considerations.
